About the Item
Antique Onion and Leek Botanical Print, Kitchen Garden Study, 1852
Description
This striking original hand-colored lithograph illustrates onions, leeks, and related alliums from Carl Gustav Calwer’s Landwirthschaftliche und technische Pflanzenkunde, published in Stuttgart in 1852. The plate shows bulbs, roots, stems, and flower heads with clear botanical precision.
The bold vertical structure and rich green tones make this one of the most decorative kitchen-garden subjects in the series. Calwer’s careful rendering highlights both agricultural function and natural beauty, reflecting the importance of alliums in 19th-century European diets.
This plate works exceptionally well as a standalone statement piece, particularly in kitchens, dining rooms, or restaurant interiors.
